In May of 1941 the war had just begun
The germans had the biggest ships, they had the biggest guns
The Bismark was the fastest ship that ever sailed the seas
On her deck were guns as big as steers
And shells as big as trees
Out of the cold and foggy night
Came the british ship the Hood
And every british seaman, he knew and understood
They had to sink the Bismark, the terror of the sea
Stop those guns as big as steers
And those shells as big as trees.
We'll find that german battleship that's makin' such a fuss
We gotta sink the Bismark 'cause the world depends on us
Hit the decks a-runnin', boys, and spin those guns around
When we find the Bismark we gotta cut her down.
The Hood found the Bismark and on that fatal day
The Bismark started firin' fifteen miles away
We gotta sink the Bismark was the battle sound
But when the smoke had cleared away
The mighty Hood went down
For six long days and weary nights
They tried to find her trail
Churchill told the people put every ship a-sail
'Cause somewhere on that ocean I know she's gotta be
We gotta sink the Bismark to the bottom of the sea.
We'll find that German battleship that's makin' such a fuss
We gotta sink the Bismark 'cause the world depends on us
Hit the decks a-runnin', boys, and spin those guns around
When we find the Bismark we gotta cut her down.
The fog was gone the seventh day and they saw the mornin' sun
Ten hours away from homeland the Bismark made its run
The admiral of the british fleet said turn those bows around
We found that german battleship and we're gonna cut her down.
The British guns were aimed and the shells were comin' fast
The first shell hit the Bismark
They knew she couldn't last
That mighty german battleship is just a memory
Sink the Bismark was the battle cry that shook the seven seas.
We found that german battleship that was makin' such a fuss
We had to sink the Bismark 'cause the world depends on us
We hit the deck a-runnin' and we spun those guns around
We found the mighty Bismark
And then we cut her down.
We found that german battleship that was makin' such a fuss
We had to sink the Bismark 'cause the world depends on us
We hit the deck a-runnin' and we spun those guns around
We found the mighty Bismark
And then we cut her down.
